"The Israeli government has proved over the past year its commitment to peace, both in words and deed..." — Benjamin Netanyahu

I think placing preconditions before negotiations is the quickest way to undermine peace.

We want Israel as a democratic and Jewish state. So you have to maintain a Jewish majority, and you want to do that by legal means, by democratic means.

Israel is so tiny. It's, you know, a little less than the length of Manhattan, without the West Bank, without Judea and Samaria.

Israel has, enjoys bipartisan support - both Democrats and Republicans - and we extend bipartisan hospitality to both Democrats and Republicans.
